Benoit Noyelles

Benoit Noyelles is a Professor at Université de Liège, specializing in planetary dynamics and celestial mechanics. He serves as Chair of the Nominating Committee of the Division for Planetary Sciences (DDA). His research focuses on the orbital and rotational dynamics of celestial bodies, particularly satellites in the Solar System. Key projects include analyzing libration in Mimas to assess its subsurface ocean, studying Pluto-Charon satellite obliquity evolution, and revisiting Mercury's spin-orbit dynamics.

He has contributed to major missions like Cassini-Huygens and has led projects such as the GTIS Research Group on Symplectic Integrators. Noyelles has authored over 59 peer-reviewed publications with significant citations (h-index 13), including impactful works in Icarus and Science. His work addresses topics like orbital resonance, satellite interiors, and planetary evolution.

Award recognition includes high research impact metrics. He actively participates in international conferences and collaborates across institutions, contributing to both fundamental and applied planetary science research.
